Long queues were seen in Moscow recently as the Russian army displayed a range of western tanks and military hardware that had been captured in Ukraine. The display included tanks and equipment from countries such as the US, Germany, France, UK, Australia, Turkey, Sweden, Austria, Finland, and South Africa.
Reports indicate that Russia has lost over 3,000 tanks in Ukraine but still has reserves available for replacements. In response to Russia’s actions, the US has imposed sanctions on entities that have enabled Russia to acquire technology and equipment from abroad. China has also been hit with sanctions for supplying critical inputs to Russia’s military-industrial base.
The US has accused Russia of violating the international chemical weapons ban in Ukraine, and five civilians were tragically killed in Russian strikes in eastern Ukraine. Additionally, thousands of residents in the besieged city of Chasiv Yar are currently facing difficult conditions.
In another disturbing incident, a missile strike hit a postal sorting depot in Odesa, injuring at least 13 people. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine continues to escalate, causing widespread devastation and loss of life. Stay tuned to World News Live for the latest updates on this developing situation.
